The New York Knicks finished the NBA regular season 51-31 and are hoping to advance past the second round of the playoffs for the first time since the 1990-00 season. They’re two games into their first-round series against the Detroit Pistons. After taking Game 1 with a 123-112 win, they fell short in Game 2, losing 100-94.

This New York Knicks' season was not supposed to go this way. When you trade away a total of six first-rounders for the combination of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns after finishing second in the Eastern Conference in the year prior, your sights are set on a Larry O’Brien trophy. Well, at least they were set on that.
